We have to remember that the current Chinese culture is one of allowing only one child - so if your not-quite-as-desired daughter was selected to do ANYTHING by the government, it truly is an honor for that whole family. Hey, maybe the government even lets them have a second child!
All those who posted about their health and lack of muscle mass are completely on the money! When you see a healthy, 5'3" American teenager do a tumbling run, then a 4'6" Chinese preteen do one, who is more likely to step out of bounds? I feel sorry for those children, because they will probably never really mature properly and never learn the supposed real goal of the Olympics - sportsmanship.
